I'm not looking at your posh squashes, like... Pomegranate and Falafel with a mint twist,
Not am I interested in your Robinson's, nor your higher end squashes. They can go away.

I'm talking about bog standard Tesco /Asda/Sainsbury's squash.

Orange & Mango beats all... orange and pineapple in that sort of exotic category cannot compare.

Close second is Cherries and Berries, followed by blackcurrant, THEN summer fruits.

Apple & Blackcurrant can fuck off ...not tasting of ether fruit, just disappointment.

@Ionut noooo M&S lemon is gorgeous!
No artificial sweeteners...

HeyItsPickleRick · 10/03/2025 16:53
  1. orange lemon and pineapple
  2. cherries and berries
  3. orange and mango

Though I’d rather drink coffee til 2 then wine thereafter.

Ah but I can! The mango is the ultimate clincher here. If you were rooting for good old orange on its own you may have a leg to stand on but polluting it with fake mangoness is ughhh and takes it to a new (lower) level.

Plus you can pretend you’re a Wimbledon star whilst guzzling flavoured barley water.

True. I do like to sit on a chair and wipe my forehead whilst guzzling

Supermarket squash is the work of the devil and more so with disgusting mango added in. Ugh. I’d rather be thirsty. The other flavours you mention sound vile too. Really fake fruit vibe and fake sugary sweetness too.

At a push the only acceptable squash is Orange or Lemon barley water. There is no cereal floating in it.

you can't complain about fake fruit flavours being all fake and gross, and then wax lyrical about Orange and Lemon as if those two are some sort of holy grai of squash. When everybody knows lemon squash is the pits. and your orange flavouring and sweeteners are the SAME orange flavouring and sweeteners in my (superior) Orange & Mango

Get your self some O&M and never look back!

Sometimes a glass of squash hits the spot. I tell myself that it's better than fizzy cola

"Ribena Winter Spice." Nobody wants a squash that tastes of candles.

That made me roar!!

I won't be able to drink it without giggling now.
Do you think the workmen think I'm incredibly poncey? 😳😂

HangryBrickShark · 10/03/2025 13:26

I used to drink gallons of it.

I'm now partial to Strawberry ribena.

Pink grapefruit is the superior squash.

Worsthousebeststreet · 10/03/2025 13:15

YABU
It's obviously the Tesco quadruple strength lemon, made slightly stronger than ideal because you REALLY only need a tiny bit and every damn time I think I need a splash more when I don't.

I had Robinson's Lime and Mint on subscription during lockdown. I was pretty poorly with Covid/Long Covid and drank gallons!
I am now addicted to Ribena Winter Spice. We had workmen in last week and they loved it too.In fact, I had to pick up two extra bottles as they will be back later.

(As an aside, back in the day when I had 8 bottles delivered at a time, one of the guys put it in our recycling bin at the front of the house! Yes, on recycling day, so it was never seen again! The company replaced it but the sheer waste appalled me!. We now have a notice saying that Thursdays are pick up days on the bin)

I see your squash, and I'll raise you with lemon barley water.

(Blackcurrant, served as a hot drink is a good second).

Hot Ribena is good!

SwankyPants · 10/03/2025 10:51

We are orange and mango fans here. DH likes lemon.
And yes DH says it smells like cat pee too 😂

okydokethen · 10/03/2025 10:46

Robinsons orange squash is my vice. Always a disappointment when I accidentally pick up orange and pineapple.

Mama2many73 · 10/03/2025 10:35

Robinson juice has very little taste and we get shop own quadruple strength!!.
Normally sainsburys apple and blackcurrant and then , for me, plain orange. Rest of the family would agree with uour choice of orange and mango though but I HATE it.

Tesco s apple and blackcurrant is by far the best but I don't shop there very often. Asdas tastes awful, and you can actually smell a 'chemically' when you open it.

thecatneuterer · 10/03/2025 10:24

I'm a squash addict - much to the chagrin of my dentist. But for me it has to be high fruit orange. I don't like any extra flavours in there - I just want orange.

I would agree,

but we’ve also recently discovered aldis high juice in strawberry and watermelon, and peach and raspberry (think they’re £1.10 each) and they are sublime too!

Yes the strawberry and watermelon Aldi juice is amazing!!!

We also drink Aldi bog standard cherries and berries.

Also drink apple and strawberry and apple from Tesco.

And also have just started their own version of vimto which ds loves!
